Suzanne Richroath Akins left this world and went to Heaven in the arms of her Heavenly Father on Saturday, August 21, 2021. She was born on March 4, 1963 in Gainesville, Texas to parents Hank and Jane Richroath.

She joined 3 older brothers in a large, happy family and grew up in Gainesville; after graduating from high school in 1981 she attended Texas Woman's University where she earned a BS in Elementary Education with a secondary in Special Education. She married Robert Glynn Akins on September 9, 1989 in Gainesville, before moving with him to Denton in 1995. Suzanne had numerous health challenges throughout her life which prevented her from successfully pursuing a career in her chosen profession. She was a substitute teacher in Denton ISD for a few months, and worked from home doing customer service for a time. She enjoyed her cats, walking outdoors to see butterflies and beautiful flowers, singing, poetry, chatting with friends on Facebook, and studying the Word of God.

She was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Kenneth and Peter Richroath, and many other beloved friends and family.

She is survived by her aunt Ninfa Beck and brothers John and Mark Richroath, loving husband Robert Akins, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Memorial donations may be made to the Special Olympics, Epilepsy Foundation of America or the Scleroderma Foundation. Plans for a memorial service are still being made.

Suzanne's memorial service is set for Sunday, September 26, 2021 at 2:00 PM, at Central Baptist Church, 2221 N. Carroll Blvd., here in Denton.
